About this title

Review:

"Romano Guardini's notable contributions to Catholic theology and specifically his impact on Vatican II serve as the subject of this impressive study. Krieg offers a comprehensive overview of Guardini's life and work situated within the cultural, social, political, and theological context of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Germany. He argues that apart from this context, Guardini's legacy cannot be adequately evaluated and appropriated."--Theological Studies
